The story doesn't start with the shattered glass, it starts maybe two months before, when my mom announced that we would be moving to a new state.

"No!"

"Aubrey, come on, think about how good it will be for us." She tried to calm me.

"No!" I repeat. "Not again! I've finally just made some friends and you want us to move again! I don't want to!" I shook my head repeatedly.

"I know, Aubrey, I know. We have to move, though, for my work, sweetie." She tried to make me feel better about this, this thing I will never be happy to do.

"No, mom, you don't know! I don't want to move!" I kept arguing, tears began to fill my eyes.

"Aubrey, please, you have to understand. It'll be good this time, I promise. We won't have to move again, they said."

"You don't know that!"

"Of course I know it, Aubrey! I hate having to see you start new almost every year and I hate seeing how sad and depressed it makes you until you finally make some new friends. And I get that you have left so many friends already, but we have to move, just one more time, Aubrey, I promise."

Angry and sad, I didn't reply and stormed upstairs to my room. She will never understand how I felt at that moment.
